    News Haunted Mansion closing for short refurbishment in August 2023

    I have a general interest in ghostly things, although I'm not an expert, nor am I grammar expert. A manifestation in this situation is generally considered the physical visible appearance of a ghost. You're right that there are several examples of ghosts at play prior to Leota, but her seance...

    Good point. I forgot about the Leota Rule. It's been so long since I've been at the parks. 😢 I don't know that the coffin man is really a manifestation of a ghost. In reality it's more the living dead since it's bony hands trying to get out of a the coffin. Ghosts aren't normally bony. But...

    News Haunted Mansion closing for short refurbishment in August 2023

    I think locating him in the Escher Stairs makes more sense than the graveyard or ballroom. I loved when they added those stairs to replace barely visible spiders and webs which were totally lame, but adding the Hatbox Ghost there gives it even more flavor IMO. I'd be okay with that. I think...

    Ha! I think it was the great Louis CK (that's right, I said it) who said "I don't stop eating when I'm full. The meal isn't over when I'm full. It's over when I hate myself." 🤣🤣🤣

    Preach brother! My ex and I felt the same way, but as Disney started to fall apart (in our eyes) since the late 00s, our marriage did too. I blame it on Iger. 🤣 We actually get along much better now than we did towards the end there. I remember going back 6 or 7 years being one of the few to...

    Welcome to the Dark Side. Join me and together we can rule the galaxy. 🤣 In all honesty, the dark side is terrible place to be. None of us really like to complain about Disney. I'd much rather be visiting the parks each year and raving about all the great new additions to the parks. I remember...

    General Merchandise help please

    That $ucks, but good info for the OP. Thanks!

    General Merchandise help please

    I'm not the OP, but thanks. I thought that might help him. The ESPN store would have to have NFL memorabilia. That's their #1 seller.

    To those who know.... Isn't there an ESPN store on property? ESPN Clubhouse or something like that?

    Very true... for the short term maybe as they assess whether the downturn is market-related or a problem with the product, but continued cuts in a downturn for their business is not a way to win back patrons. You don't increase attendance by slashing budgets and making the product worse. The...

    I know this might come across bad, but I'm thrilled to see a potential downturn in attendance and hope it's long term. I'm not hoping for the demise of WDW. I'm hoping for a wake-up call at the top. I'm hoping someone really important (whoever that needs to be) realizes that they need to stop...

    There you guys go again... way off topic. 🤣 J/k obviously. AWESOME pic! I take pics like this whenever I have the opportunity, but I'm too much of a chicken to show them to friends. My group of friends (me included) are BRUTAL when it comes to shaming for showing the slightest bit of...

    EXACTLY! Well, that and IMO the rides through Adventureland and into Liberty Square are just better. I love Space Mountain, but that side of the park didn't have as much going for it until Tron which I won't try until Disney improves the overall experience. By then it might be ripe for a makeover. 🤣

    That makes sense, but whoever or whatever is estimating waiting times really $ucks at it. 😁 Honestly tho, that goes way back too. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten into standby for something and the wait time posted was double or half of what it really was. The posted wait times are...

    It's a shame that you feel the need to stay away because discussions sometimes go off topic. I'm not being sarcastic btw. There have been so many entertaining meandering discussions. I've been on a couple of other forums and all of them have discussions that meander. It's common in all other...

    One of the arguments made is that the stating of wait times themselves are far overinflated. Some mentioned how long waits were posted on signs, yet actual waits were next to nothing. I can't corroborate this, but if true as witnessed, comparing wait times if they're inaccurate doesn't give the...

    Valid point, but it wasn't off topic when Apple first started in the conversation. I believe it went something like this... Opinion that Apple should buy Disney so they can improve the product which will then improve attendance again. Then the opinion of Apple not being any better than Disney...

    I absolutely respect this decision, and the desire to stick with it. So many people leave nasty comments about Disney on forums, Twitter and the like, but when vacation time comes around they're back at WDW feeding the beast that supposedly upset them so much. My last vacation to WDW was in...

    That's excellent to see that they didn't take a cheap shortcut. Rare kudos from me to them for that! Thanks so much for the update. And it wasn't a long post in comparison to my word vomits. 🤣

    Yeah, the phone part is annoying as h3ll. I like having everything at my finger tips and take advantage of the conveniences my phone offers, but I'm adamantly anti-phones when it comes to the fact that it has replaced actual human interaction. Social media is the devil... almost literally. It...
